Chapter 2236 - 2236:

The next day, seven o'clock in the morning.

Important internal members from all over the Great East Pot had already gotten up.

After enjoying a high-standard breakfast at their designated hotels, they tidied up and waited for their special transportation.

Around eight o'clock in the morning, these important members, these national representatives, gathered at the Tiantu Conference Hall and began entering.

Entering was very strict; there were regulations on what could and couldn't be brought.

Phones could, of course, be brought, but they must remain silent throughout, without even vibration.

No noise was permissible in the pre-election meeting that could influence the future direction of the Great East Pot, let alone you filming anything as a local representative.

Even journalists were not allowed in. This kind of pre-election was not going to be in the news.

This was an internal pre-election, just like that.

Once the official results were out, people had to keep them to themselves and not publicize them externally.

At the formal and ceremonious conference, the results would be revealed to the world, get on the news, and have press conferences.

Indeed, major events are always decided in small internal meetings, while larger conferences are merely for show.

And at the mountain residence in Gu Changsha, in the area of Beixiang Mountain, where all the Tiandu Family reside, where Zhao Yan meets her cousin Cheng Zhi, Gu Changsha had also risen early, had a shower and felt refreshed.

For today, he felt confident of victory.

During breakfast, only Zhao Yan accompanied him. After all, this was his private home, and Zhao Yan was the daughter he always felt guilty about.

After almost finishing breakfast, Gu Changsha wiped his mouth, and his fierce face had softened considerably, turning into a gentle expression.

"Yan'er, these past few years, you've lived quite frugally, I'm aware. Some matters, particularly political ones, are inevitable. I'm really sorry about your marriage. I hope you can understand and forgive."

Gu Changsha's voice was very gentle, gentle enough to resemble a loving father.

Zhao Yan was quite composed, looking at the elder blinded by power, feeling somewhat pitiful for such a father.

She said blandly, "It's nothing, I've gotten used to it."

Gu Changsha gave a slightly melancholic smile, "Such heartbreaking words, 'gotten used to it.' Today, the fate of the nation will be decided. Once the result is out, you think, you will be free."

Zhao Yan glanced at him, without voicing what she thought, simply saying, "Will I really have freedom? You've always played the king; how could I have freedom?"

"No, you can be free. Perhaps, you and Chi Zhongshui are meant to be together. It's time now. He's no longer the President of Valle, you both can."

Zhao Yan shook her head with a smile, "Father, sometimes I truly don't understand you. When Chi Zhongshui was president, you didn't allow me to marry him, and you fought tirelessly. Now that he's no longer president, has no power, no longer needs to fight you, you suggest I marry him? He's retired, living in seclusion, where would I find him?"

"He's an outstanding young man, whom I admire considerably. Look, he didn't marry or have children during his presidency, perhaps he still thinks of you! Of course, he's no longer fighting me, so isn't it just right for him to be my son-in-law? You should trust your father's broad-mindedness; I'm quite open-hearted. Politically, we were enemies, but that's all in the past. In life, he can be my son-in-law, and I would be proud and anticipative. I believe you two have a connection, as long as you wish to marry him, you can find him."

Looking at such a father, Zhao Yan truly felt an indescribable sensation, shaking her head, indeed unsure what to say.

Gu Changsha then rose and said, "Finish eating, I must prepare to leave for the conference hall. My daughter, wish me luck!"

Zhao Yan felt a tinge of bitterness in her heart and stood up, abiding by etiquette and upbringing, to see her father off the dining table!

She stood there and said, "Father, must you continue your dream? Another five years, ten years, fifteen? What's the significance?"

Gu Changsha smiled, still like a loving father, shaking his head, "Silly girl, you don't understand politics, nor understand men in this predicament, thus it's normal you don't grasp the significance."

"Your so-called politics is simply holding on to power tightly, you love the feeling of control, unwilling to let go. And Chi Zhongshui, he's the real player of politics; he gracefully refrained from power not only, but also strived to cage power."

Gu Changsha was slightly stunned; his expression changed a little, rather displeased, yet still smiled.

"So, I say you're a silly girl! Valle Republic is Valle, the Great East Pot is the Great East Pot, different national contexts have different politics. Our national context can only cater to my kind of political choice, no other path exists."

"What if there is?"

"Then it's someone conspiring rebellion, but obviously won't succeed." Gu Changsha said confidently, then turned and left.

His tall and plump figure exuded Kingly presence, seemingly due to the special nature of today.

Zhao Yan watched her father's shadow, feeling he was blinded by the desire for power, amidst a sigh...

This tragic old man, somewhat pitiful indeed.

But at this moment, can she speak the truth?

She cannot; doing so would harm Liu Zhizhong.

Because last night, Liu Zhizhong messaged her: Dear wife, tonight, I'm here! Tomorrow, I will formally meet you, justly! And your father will lose all dreams, becoming merely a historical memory. Everything I do is not only for the world but also for you, for my promise!

Zhao Yan was very excited!

At least when receiving the message, she was very excited.

Tears even flowed.

She doesn't know when Liu Zhizhong returned to the Great East Pot, nor what he's planning, but it's surely a great matter.

Just as Gu Changsha said: Someone is conspiring rebellion!

A man entangled with me for over a decade, ultimately rebels for me!

His tone, so assured, surely he will succeed!

As a woman, it's a colossal vanity, irreplaceable.

Therefore, Zhao Yan (Zhao Yan) feels she is the happiest woman in the world.

And Liu Zhizhong is truly the most outstanding man!

Revolutionized the Valle Republic, then left it, finally returned to the Great East Pot, his revolution is truly about to unfold!

Thus, this morning, watching her overly confident father, Zhao Yan felt he was so tragic...
